In the first few minutes of the film, the camera pans over some old wooden spools that Crumb had adorned with illustrated faces. Since I have been drawing on flat images for my entire life, I considered spools as a viable canvas and continue to paint spools today.

Speaking of portable art, I have just been informed that I sold my first piece at the Hard Rock Store in Tampa for $120.00 retail. It is a bracelet with my favorite subject, faces. I made about 13 of these. Now if I can only sell a few more.

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 16:03:45 +0000brixpixhttps://brixpix.wordpress.com/go/uncategorized/designer-toys/Welcome to my designer toy blog. My name is Gary Brickel and I am an illustrator by trade. I discovered the world of designer toys in 2006 and have been hooked ever since. Both a collector and a creator, I find portable art to be a new and viable way to get the artists’ work out. In 2006, I came in second in Munnyshow 2. It was a judged competition in customization. When I saw that others shared my vision in the obscure and the detailed line, I was taken. I realized for the first time since college, that art was no longer just a hobby, but a life style. I have been creating art ever since. Some can be found on my online store:http://brixpix.etsy.com
